‘We all have ‘Aha’ moments, times when the blur of our lives comes into clear focus, when the angles of the walls seem to bend, or the earth seems to shift under our feet with the new and powerful recognition of who we are and what our time on this planet is about.
In ‘Mother’s Pearl’, the author has selected 27 of such moments that have altered the course of his life.
Moving, honest and from the heart, ‘Mother’s Pearls’ is a true treasure – a beautiful necklace with its stones of wisdom, bright and timeless to treasure.’
-- Vivienne Vermes, Author, Paris, France
‘To read a series of stories (the pearls), written from the heart, that shower you with truth and questions is but a unique and powerful experience. It is a guidebook and a support tool that can be picked up again and again, with some pearls read and re-read depending on your need or mood at that time. The Pearl's are an insight to life, being both biographically educational and some more formally educational. It is a gift that sits by my bed, alongside the Dalai Lama's Art of Happiness.’

“In a way that is simultaneously sweet and fierce, Kevin J. Cottam illuminates one of the most amazing facts of human consciousness: that each moment carries the possibility of a major opening to a new dimension of life. In Kevin’s stories, we find the courage and encouragement to live our own lives in such a daring and amazing way!”

“Mother’s Pearls is an enlightening read. It was a great opportunity to reflect on my own experiences and see Aha moments that I may have overlooked. Each new chapter brought to mind a simple life moment that needed to be reflected upon, helping to remind me to take each moment to heart. We may not always know an Aha moment at the time we’re in it, but patience is the key until the true meaning is revealed.”
Lana Bertsch, President, Birchwood Productions Inc., Edmonton, Canada
